Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Recycling packaging materials saves raw materials and reduces the amount of waste produced. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc are kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposing of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your general waste.
Please contact your local community waste collection/recycling centre. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Energy saving tips To avoid unnecessarily long drying times and high consumption of energy: – Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. The higher the spin, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying. – Load according to the optimum amount of laundry recommended for the programme being used. Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying, and may cause unnecessary creasing. – Make sure the room in which the dryer is located is well ventilated. – Remove the fluff from the filter when necessary (see "Cleaning and Care"). – Check all parts of the ventilation system on a regular basis, and remove any build-up of fluff etc. The vent ducting should be as short, straight and smooth as possible to minimise any resistance to the air throughflow.

Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety
~ Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
~ Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised to do so by Miele.
~ The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when it is correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the on-site wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~ Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee. Ensure current is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance o repair work has been carried out.
~ Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the appliance be guaranteed.
~ To ensure the correct performance of the appliance and to
prevent the risk of faults and fire, it is important to check it and carry out maintenance on a regular basis.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
~ In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the tumble dryer is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or – it is switched off at the mains, or – the mains fuse is disconnected.
~ This tumble dryer is inteded for stationary use only. ~ In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the tumble dryer in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.
9
Warning and Safety instructions Correct use
~ Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the tumble dryer to tip up. Danger of injury.
~ Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the
danger of: – children climbing onto or into the appliance or hiding things in it. – pets or other small animals climbing into it.
~ Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the tumble dryer. ~ Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and fluff. Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages over time. Faults can then occur as well as the risk of fire.
~ The tumble dryer must only be used when it is connected to a
suitable ducting system. The installation site must be adequately ventilated.
~ The ducting must not be connected to – a chimney or vent flue which is in use,
– or to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces, – or to chimneys being used by other appliances. Smoke or exhaust fumes can cause poisoning.
~ Check all parts of the extraction system on a regular basis (e.g.
wall vent, external grille, bends in the ducting etc.) and make sure they are all free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff will prevent a free flow of air through the system. If the tumble dryer is to be connected to an existing ducting system, this must be checked for suitability beforehand.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
~ Adequate ventilation is essential to avoid the danger of
asphyxia and toxic fumes where another appliance which also uses the room air (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous flow or other water heater) is installed in the same or an adjacent room. To ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by these appliances being drawn back into the room, an underpressure of 4 Pa is the maximum permissible. Ventilation can be maintained by: – air inlets in the external wall which cannot be closed or blocked, or – by fitting a window contact switch which ensures that the appliance can only be operated when the window is open. If in doubt, the advice of a competent builder must be sought.
~ If more than one tumble dryer is being installed using a joint
ducting system, each dryer must have its own non-return flap to the joint ducting system. Otherwise the dryers could be damaged, endangering their electrical safety.
~ The fluff filters must be cleaned regularly. ~ The tumble dryer must not be used without the fluff filters in place or if the fluff filters are damaged in any way. Damaged filters can cause operational faults and blockages in the airways, the heating elements and in the ducting. Fire hazard! In the event of a damaged filter, switch the tumble dryer off and replace the filter with a new one.
~ Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of
frost occurring. At temperatures around freezing point the tumble dryer may not be able to operate properly. The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and +50°C
11
Warning and Safety instructions
~ To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried in this tumble dryer: – items which have not been washed.
– items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly cleaned and which are still soiled with grease, oil or other deposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that these might ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the dryer at the end of the programme. – items which have been treated with inflamable cleaning agents or contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol, stain remover, turpentine, wax, wax remover or other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths). – items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances. When washing such heavily soiled items ensure that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
~ To prevent the risk of fire, the following must not be tumble dried: – items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional dry-cleaning agents).
– fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like materials. For example, products made from latex foam rubber, shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubberised articles and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling. – damaged items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of igniting in the dryer.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
~ In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling down phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry self-igniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase has been completed. Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the laundry.
~ Warning: Do not switch the appliance off before the end of the drying programme. If this was done and the laundry was then removed immediately it could give off a great amount of heat.
~ Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
~ Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable liquid must not be stored or used near the tumble dryer. Fire and explosion risk.
~ Do not allow air contaminated with chlorine, fluorine or other
vapours containing solvents to get into the tumble dryer stack. Fire hazard.
~ For appliances with stainless steel surfaces:
The stainless steel surfaces must not come into contact with liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be corrosive. Do not store containers of these agents near the appliance.
13
Warning and Safety instructions Accessories
~ Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with
this tumble dryer. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee and Miele cannot accept liability. Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Before drying – Wash heavily soiled items very thoroughly, ensuring that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times. – Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer. Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. The higher the spin, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying.
– New dark-coloured garments should be washed and dried separately from light-coloured garments the first few times they are washed, to avoid the risk of colours running and discolouring other garments or even the plastic components in the tumble dryer. Dark-coloured fibres can also settle on light-coloured garments and vice versa. – Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used. – Check the seams of padded or down-filled items to prevent the risk of fillings coming out.

Notes and tips on laundry care 2. Load the tumble dryer
,Using the tumble dryer
incorrectly could cause a fire. Read the "Warning and Safety instructions" before using the appliance.
,Make sure that objects, e.g. detergent dispensing balls, have been removed from the laundry. They could melt and cause damage to the dryer or the laundry. – Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing. – To save energy, always observe the maximum load for each programme (see "Programme chart"). – Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease more the greater the load. This is also the case for garments made from very fine weave fabrics, such as shirts or blouses. If necessary, reduce the size of the load for these types of fabrics.
3. Select a programme – On many programmes, different drying levels can be selected depending on individual requirements . . e.g.Normal+ for laundry that you want to fold and put away immediately after drying. . . . e.g. Machine iron or Hand iron if the laundry needs further processing after drying, e.g. ironing. See "Programme chart". – For delicate fabrics with the r care label, select Low temperature as well. – Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. – Pure linen should only be machine dried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough. – Woollens and wool blends tend to become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. – Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Therefore, do not overdry these items. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.

Possible cause The load consisted of different fabrics.
Feathers are a natural product and this is quite normal. Items made of synthetic Synthetic fibres tend to fibres are charged with attract static charge. static electricity after drying. Feather filled pillows smell after drying.
There is a build-up of fluff.
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being worn and to some extent when they are being washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form and has no appreciable effect on the lifetime of the fabric.
Remedy – Finish drying using the Warm air programme. – Select a different programme next time (see "Programme chart"). The smell will dissipate after sufficient airing. Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric conditioner to the final rinse in the washing programme or a fabric conditioner sheet to the load when drying. Fluff is collected by the fluff filter and can be easily removed (see "Cleaning and care").

from the back. For this reason, an appropriate gap must be maintained between the back of the dryer and the wall (see "Installation positions"). Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. This would hinder a sufficient flow of air to the dryer.
Installation and connection Electrical connection This appliance is supplied with connection cable and a NEMA L15-30P plug.
,The voltage, rated load and fuse rating are given on the data plate. Please ensure these match the site mains supply. Connection to the electricity supply must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations.
Any changes to the electrical installation, including fitting or replacing circuit breakers and fuses and replacing the mains connection cable, must be carried out by an approved electrician to ensure compliance with all local and national electrical safety requirements.
,WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
,Connection should be made via a suitable isolator or plug. This must be easily accessible for disconnecting the tumble dryer from the electrical supply. If the appliance is hard-wired, provision must be made on site to switch off all poles. Switches with a minimum all-pole contact gap greater than 3 mm are suitable for isolating the appliance. These include circuit breakers, fuses and protective devices (IEC/EN 60947). If the appliance is disconnected from the electricity supply ensure adequate measures are taken to ensure that the appliance cannot be reconnected to the electricity supply until all work has been carried out. For extra safety and protection we recommend connecting the machine by a 30mA residual current device (RCD).

Installation - extraction ducting General
,Before operating the tumble
dryer, a suitable ducting system must be installed to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside. The dryer must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply whilst the ducting system is installed. The venting outlet (e.g. in a wall) should be installed in such a way that the moist expelled air: . . .cannot be drawn back into the room in which the dryer is installed; . . . cannot cause any damage to the building or other nuisance. The dryer uses the room air. It is therefore essential to ensure adequate ventilation to avoid the danger of asphyxia and toxic fumes caused by gases given off by other appliances being drawn back into the room. Insufficient ventilation will also cause drying times to be considerably longer. Ventilation can be maintained by: – an open window, – air inlets in the external wall of a minimum of 150 cm2 which cannot be closed or blocked, or – a window switch which prevents the dryer being used when the window is closed.
48
Avoid: – very long ducting systems. – too many tight bends or corners. Otherwise the drying result will be less effective, and it will take longer and use more energy. Suitable materials – for the ventilation ducting: flexible ducting* or plastic piping with a diameter of at least 100 mm. – for venting to the outside: a wall vent kit* or a window vent kit*. (* optional extras available from Miele Professional)
Installation - extraction ducting To calculate the total duct length Friction against the inner walls of the vent ducting will slow down the expelled air as it passes through the ducting. An elbow, bend, non-return flap or wall vent creates more friction than a straight duct. The friction created by each of these is expressed as an additional duct length factor. The additional duct length factors are calculated by comparing the friction created by, for example, an elbow to that created by 1 metre of straight plastic piping (see Table 1). The additional duct length factor for each item needs to be added together to ascertain the total duct length which will be needed for the venting system. The total duct length is a means of calculating the friction created by the venting system as a whole. A larger internal duct diameter also helps reduce friction. If the total duct length is more than 20 m, the duct diameter should be increased (see Table II).

Maximum total duct length 20 m 40 m 80 m
Internal duct diameter required 100 mm 125 mm 150 mm
2. Establish the number of angles, bends etc., and add their additional length factors together with the help of Table I. 3. Add all the additional length factors to give the total duct length. 49
